Chapter 76
As Sun Xiang typed this sentence, his character's movements didn't stop. After the Haolong Pojun (Dragon Breaks the Army), One Autumn Leaf swept his battle lance, executing a Ba Sui (Tyrannical Sweep). When Lord Grim dodged the Haolong Pojun, he had already created distance. At this time, it seemed he was outside the attack range of the Ba Sui and had a good opportunity to counterattack. However, Lord Grim's retreating steps didn't stop. Almost as soon as he took a step, mud and rocks rose from the ground. Although it shouldn't have been within the range of the Ba Sui, the sweeping attack effect occurred due to the force of this strike.

"Oh oh, this is One Autumn Leaf's special attack effect, Shan Beng (Mountain Collapse), which extends the attack range. But the opponent is Ye Xiu. Of course, he knows this better than anyone. So, everyone, look at him. When he dodges, he even calculates the distance of the Shan Beng effect."

"In fact, the probability of these weapon attack effects is not very high, but in actual combat, you can only believe it exists rather than not believe it." Li Yibo sighed.

Boom!

The two were still chatting about that Ba Sui when an explosion occurred in the battle.

While retreating and dodging, Lord Grim quietly threw a grenade. Pan Lin and Li Yibo didn't notice it at all, and everyone exclaimed in surprise until it exploded at this moment.

The concealed action deceived everyone, but it didn't deceive Sun Xiang, his opponent on the field. One Autumn Leaf made an obvious sudden stop during the chase, waiting for this grenade. The timing was just right. Although it looked like he passed through the explosion, he perfectly avoided the damage. The lance, Que Xie, remained close to Lord Grim's body.

"Sun Xiang is actively launching an offensive, but Ye Xiu doesn't seem to want to decide the outcome with a head-on confrontation," Pan Lin shouted.

"That's natural. The advantage of veteran players is experience. They need to use their advantages against young opponents, especially top players like Sun Xiang. A head-on confrontation is...is..." Li Yibo couldn't continue, because what Pan Lin said was only "it seems". This was his guess based on Lord Grim's attempt to create distance from the beginning. But now, Lord Grim shook open the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in his hand and used an attack move against One Autumn Leaf's attack. This was a genuine head-on confrontation.

"Not bad!" In the midst of the head-on confrontation, Sun Xiang actually took the time to type. One Autumn Leaf took a diagonal step, and a Tian Ji (Rising Strike) was launched from the side.

Lord Grim didn't even turn his gaze. During the diagonal back jump, the sword was drawn from the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's hilt. While dodging the Tian Ji's launch, he directly returned with a Beng Shan Ji (Collapsing Mountain Strike).

"Ah, Beng Shan Ji in place! This is an operation that uses a back jump to offset the forward jump of Beng Shan Ji. Ye Xiu can use it effortlessly, which shows his skilled Glory foundation. The name 'Glory Textbook' is definitely not for nothing," Pan Lin shouted.

One Autumn Leaf turned his body, and only half of the Tian Ji continued to launch, bracing against Lord Grim's Beng Shan Ji. But the attack judgment of Beng Shan Ji was much stronger than Tian Ji. It was impossible to complete this attack parry with Tian Ji. However, One Autumn Leaf had already made a back jump at this time, dodging the Beng Shan Ji cleanly.

"One Autumn Leaf dodged... But what does this Tian Ji parry mean, Instructor Li?" Pan Lin asked.

"Hehe, this has no practical meaning. It's just an operating habit of professional players to get themselves into the state faster," Li Yibo said.

"I really can't listen anymore!" In the audience, Microherb player Liu Xiaobie was still watching the game while listening to the commentary on his phone, but this time he threw his headphones out again.

"What's wrong again?" Xu Bin asked.

"He said that One Autumn Leaf's Tian Ji just now was meaningless," Liu Xiaobie said.

"Oh? No way. If it wasn't for the Tian Ji parry just now, that Beng Shan Ji couldn't have been dodged," Xu Bin said.

"The Tian Ji's parry slightly delayed the falling speed of the Beng Shan Ji and accelerated his own back jump by borrowing force," Gao Yingjie said.

"The commentary is becoming more and more amateurish now." Liu Xiaobie shook his head repeatedly while putting his headphones back on, leaving Xu Bin and Gao Yingjie speechless.

The battle on the field continued.

No one was able to gain a complete advantage. Although there was mutual damage to health, it was all within the scope of controlled exchanges. No one suffered a fatal blow. Exquisite operations such as Tian Ji parrying Beng Shan Ji in place emerged endlessly in this duel. Viewers like the three Microherb professional players enjoyed it very much. But the audience in front of the TV was pitiful. Pan Lin and Li Yibo could probably only understand 70% of the subtleties, and 20% of them were misinterpreted. This is probably one of the problems caused by Glory Professional Alliance's late start but rapid development: a lack of high-level professionals.

Although they missed many of the subtleties, it didn't affect ordinary viewers from enjoying the game. This kind of dazzling offensive was the most popular form of competition among the audience.

However, Tao Xuan, sitting in the Excellent Era player seat, was a little restless at this time. To be honest, he also liked this kind of exciting offensive game. These beautiful game scenes were what he expected most from Excellent Era. But... definitely not at this time. Who was Sun Xiang's opponent? Ye Xiu! The character who was replaced by Sun Xiang due to declining form and poor performance. Tao Xuan didn't know how much effort he had put in to complete this transition smoothly. But now, Ye Xiu and Sun Xiang were evenly matched? This was already a blatant slap in Excellent Era's face. And judging from the way they were fighting, it was hard to say who would win or lose. Although Lord Grim started the battle with 70% health, he was already behind. But this evenly matched situation would not continue until the end of the game. There would always be twists and turns and explosions in the middle. Especially Ye Xiu, who was already behind, how could he just slowly exchange health until he died?

Tao Xuan was uneasy. Even though he kept telling himself that One Autumn Leaf's character was stronger and Sun Xiang was younger and more explosive, he still couldn't find confidence in facing Ye Xiu.

"The game is now evenly matched," Pan Lin commented.

"Uh, I think, it should be said that Lord Grim has a slight advantage," Li Yibo said.

"How so?" Pan Lin asked, puzzled.

"Because the characters on both sides have differences in combat power. Although Level 75 orange equipment helped Happy close the gap between the character levels and Excellent Era, this distance is only in basic attributes. When it comes to detailed supplements, orange equipment cannot be as perfect as silver equipment," Li Yibo said.

"But we can see that Team Happy actually has some silver equipment, especially Wei Chen's warlock Wind Howl, which has as many as 8 pieces of silver equipment. This is already professional level," Pan Lin said.

"Hehe, silver equipment cannot be measured by simple quantity. What is the biggest advantage of silver equipment? It's customization. When a piece of silver equipment meets the technical characteristics and needs of this player, its role will be amplified. Conversely, if a piece of silver equipment is not customized and only pursues attributes, it will certainly be stronger than the same level of orange equipment, but it will lose its own maximum advantage. Some players like faster attack speed, while others want stronger attack power when they hit. If you give a player who likes speed a strength-type equipment, the equipment itself is very powerful, but it doesn't suit his style. How much can this powerful strength attribute be used?" Li Yibo said eloquently.

"I understand. You mean that Team Happy's silver equipment may not be able to achieve this absolute fit," Pan Lin said.

"Hehe, first of all, Team Happy's silver equipment is very insufficient in terms of quantity. Secondly, we don't know how Team Happy's silver equipment came from, but I don't think they have a technical development team of Excellent Era's level, right? So their equipment selection space should not be large. They use silver equipment if they have it, and there is no room for selection. It is difficult to achieve perfection!" Li Yibo said with emotion.

"Instructor Li is right. From this point of view, it is quite rare that Ye Xiu's Lord Grim can fight Sun Xiang's One Autumn Leaf to a draw. I didn't expect him to still have such skill today," Pan Lin said.

"The game is always about performance. When we say that a player's condition is declining, this is not a conclusion drawn from one or two games, but from the audience's performance over a long period of time. During this stage, he may also have very outstanding performances. These ups and downs are something everyone will have. The performance of one game cannot explain too much. Zhou Zekai will also lose to others in the solo competition, but can we say that the opponent who won him in one game is the number one professional player in the alliance?" Li Yibo said with a smile.

"I understand what you mean," Pan Lin nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, let's continue to pay attention to the game. The duel between the two sides is still difficult to distinguish. Both sides have lost about 20% of their health, but because Lord Grim himself only has 70% health, he is currently relatively behind. Hey, Instructor Li, do you think Ye Xiu will leave the battle again while fighting, and then find a place to replenish his health and mana?" Pan Lin suddenly had another question.

"This, I think Sun Xiang won't give him a chance. If he easily lets his opponent recover, then I can probably beat him."

"Hahahaha." The two laughed together during the broadcast.

At this moment, Sun Xiang suddenly typed another sentence in the channel: "I said, shouldn't we speed up a bit?"

"Speed up?" Pan Lin exclaimed, "Could it be that Sun Xiang hasn't been using his full strength before?"

"This...it should be deliberately suppressing the rhythm, and then using a sudden increase to disrupt the opponent's response!" Li Yibo said.

"Speaking of which, there seems to be more communication between the two sides in today's game!" Pan Lin said.

"Yes, Sun Xiang has never been a player who talks too much in the game! This game is a bit surprising. It seems that Ye Xiu is indeed a different opponent for Excellent Era. The conversation between the new and old captains, Sun Xiang should also hope to prove to everyone with this victory that he can do better than Ye Xiu!" Li Yibo said.

"So, is he going to speed up now?" Pan Lin shouted with anticipation.
